@AB0UTTHAT + the area for simon, beaming once he catches a glimpse of him.

. . . dressed in red, too.

that causes a blush to rise to his face, biting the inside of his cheek as he hurries past people to reach his side.

“hey !”

[` 𝐛𝐞𝐧𝐣𝐢 .ᐟ @salvationgiven]

@AB0UTTHAT the met ?? benji stares at the message with a tiny laugh that bubbles up. seems like . . . someone knows exactly what he likes to do.

> be there as soon as possible !

and that's the last message he leaves before he's off on that journey, arriving a tad breathless as he scans +

forget it. look, take a deep breath, and relax, okay. i'll get you something but you need to tell me what you like too.

[` 𝐛𝐞𝐧𝐣𝐢 .ᐟ @salvationgiven]

a lot. but. i also don't want to freak them out. or be too overdressed and then they're not.

[. @burdenstobear]

how much do you wanna impress this person?

( though benji looks pretty good already. impressive. )

already going into host mode, moving aside to let simon into his apartment.

[` 𝐛𝐞𝐧𝐣𝐢 .ᐟ @salvationgiven]

“uh, i'll turn it on,” he says with a sheepish laugh, already working to take off his coat.

just thought he'd drop by.

that causes benji's grin to grow even wider. the fact he crosses simon's mind. the fact he wants to be around him. it's embarrassing how happy it makes +

[ROZANOV. @EMPATHlCS]

⠀⠀ the sight of benji brings a laugh out of him, the surprised, fond kind of laugh. funny how often he manages to get a genuine smile out of simon.
